“I have the privilege of meeting incredible people every day and working with them through challenging moments of life. Working in Behavioral Health over the past five years has granted me the opportunity to learn and grow while working in new and exciting locations with people at all stages of their life. I am thankful for the team that I work with day-to-day who support the varying communities that we serve at Northeast Medical Group.”

Pediatrics

1527 Route 12, Gales Ferry, CT

“I started my career as a nurse in adult critical care at Lawrence + Memorial Hospital in 2014 and transitioned to outpatient adult primary care with Northeast Medical Group in 2022. During this time, I have been given the opportunity to cross-train in pediatrics at Gales Ferry Pediatric Group and now split my time between the two practices. This affords me the opportunity to work with patients of all ages and allows me to constantly continue learning – a passion of mine. I am grateful for the excellent providers, managers and support staff that I work with on a daily basis who support one another as well as provide collaborative care for our patients. I truly love my profession and enjoy working here.”

“It has been a privilege to work for Yale New Haven Health for 20 years. I started my nursing career at Greenwich Hospital as a staff RN, and after receiving my master’s degree, I joined Northeast Medical Group Cardiovascular Associates in Greenwich. Currently, I practice in Fairfield as a family medicine provider, and I feel fortunate to be surrounded daily by dedicated employees that are supportive, compassionate and talented. It is an honor to receive the S.T.A.R award from an organization that is committed to exceptional patient care.”
